what was the romney-ryan campaign trying to accomplish with the visit with paul ryan's mom? caller: -- guest: they were trying to help him inoculate against this medicare issue. he started with his arm around his mom, betty, who is 78 and on medicare, and said to the audience, largely seniors, at this huge retirement community, that he is there to protect her medicare, to protect their medicare, and to protect her grandkids. i think he did a pretty effective job. he was pretty much as good of an event as i think it could have expected. they are going on offense against the obama campaign on medicare, by pointing out the $716 billion in medicare cuts that were used to help pay for obamacare, as both sides now call it, the affordable care act. they think that is going to be an effective attack that will help inoculate them against the concerns that paul ryan's medicare plan will dramatically alter it, and ultimately caused the republicans some heartburn. host: is this a debate republicans want, heading into their convention next week? or is this something democrats will contin

mitt romney's a car guy. they keep misquoting him, but let me tell you about the mitt romney i know. i was talking to a family in northborough, massachusetts the other day, sheryl and mark nixon. their kids were hit in a car crash, four of them. two of them, rob and reed, were paralyzed. the romneys didn't know them. they went to the same church. they never met before. mitt asked if he could come over on christmas. he brought his boys, his wife, and gifts. later on, he said, "i know you're struggling, mark. don't worry about their college. i'll pay for it." when mark told me this story, because, you know what, mitt romney doesn't tell these stories. the nixons told this story. when he told me this story, he said it wasn't the help, the cash help. it's that he gave his time, and he has consistently. this is a man who gave 30 % of his income to charity, more than the two of us combined. mitt romney's a good man. he cares about 100 percent of americans in this country. and with respect to that quote, i think the

host: how about mitt romney? can you assess from which you have heard, seen, and written over the months? anything close to where you might call a mitt romney doctrine? how would you encapsulate it? guest:obviously governor romney is a smart and successful person. he has been out talking about foreign policy, though i get the sense that is not the issue he wants to emphasize in this campaign. he obviously wanted to be about our unemployment rate. it is an unusual position for a republican to be in, running against a democrat with a strong position on national security. i have worked for republicans and democrats in various administrations. i am not a political person, but it seems to me the republicans always try to run to the right of the democrats, but in this election you have president obama, who has taken us out of iraq, who has waged a very tough war against al qaeda and gone after that leadership, as well as osama bin laden, who has taken out the terrorists in yemen. president obama, i think because of his
